Pradesh under the provisions of the State Financial Corporation' (SFC)
Act,1951, with a prime focus on infusing entrepreneurial spirit among
entrepreneurial class. It also provides term loans, working capital term-loans,

percent in services.1Indiaâs MSMEs are at the heart of Indiaâs growth story.
There are more than 6.3 crore MSMEs in the country generating employment
for nearly 111 million Indians and creating nearly 1.3 million jobs every year.
The entrepreneurial growth and development they contribute are not
restricted to the urban areas only. Of the 55.8 million MSMEs, 59 per cent are
based in rural India. The segment contributes close to 45 per cent to Indiaâs
manufacturing output, over 40 percent to our exports, and about 8 percent to
our GDP. However, how so far this credit development is able to contribute to
the development of micro small and medium industries needs an extensive
examination. The present paper is concerned to analyze some of the direct
effects of credit support given by APSFC to micro small and medium
enterprises development in Andhra Pradesh over a period of timefrom2007-
08 to 2018-19.

1. INTRODUCTION
A sound financial system is a prerequisite of a planned
economic development in developing countries like India.
The existingfinancialintermediarieslikeDevelopmentBanks
(DB) or Development Financial institutions (DFls) have
emerged for enlargement of entrepreneurial development,
particularly MSMEs in India. The new and existingMSMEs,in
backward regions are suffering from want of capital
requirements and arc not getting the much needed support
from the existing financial system. The MSMEs deserve the
special widersupportofeconomicandpoliticalconsideration
for developing theMSMEstomeettheglobalcompetition.For
the eradication of the MSMEs capital deficit DFls have been
adopted schemes of assistance conveniently to develop and
promote the industrial sector of a growing economy like
India.
The SFCs to constitute a unique set ofinstitution, established
in the various states in India under a separate Act. These
SFCs have been set up for to faster the industrialization,
particularly the micro, small and medium size enterprises
development.
Under the various tams of financing institutions in the
country for enlargement of MSMEs, the development banks,
development financial institutions play a vibrant role, of
which SFCs are widely known as a category of regional
development banks and seems to form a unique set of
financial institutions. The functionsof SFCsarcinfluencedby
the state Govt., and the socioeconomic features of the
economic environment in which they operate. The name
SFCs was suggested as these are state sponsored statutory
bodies. The funds of state govt. concerned, the RBI and the
IDBl are employed in SFCs. The SFCs have special recovery
powers on loans which are available to any corporate body
registered under the companies Act. SFCs are statutory
bodies and they are subject to detailed statutory provisions
governing the policies, operations and mobilization of
resources.
The role of SFCs was to provide the need-based financial
assistance to the MSMEs in the form of giving loans and
advances. SFCs havebeen empoweredto renderthefinancial
assistance by way of terms loans, direct subscription to
debentures, guarantees and discounting of bills ofexchange.
With the motive of expansion of the state industrial sector,
SFCs arc giving moderate assistance to floriculture, tissue
culture, poultry forming, providing services to engineering,
technical, financial management, marketing etc.
Globalization and trade liberalization have ushered new
opportunities as well as challenges for SMEs in developing
and transition economies. To add some woes, due to their
size, SMEs are constrained by non-competitiverealexchange
rates, limited access to finance, cumbersome bureaucratic

2. Research Methodology
2.1. Statement of the Problem:
SMEs are engines of economic growth and barometers of
economic prosperity and progress. The study is diagnostic,
innovative and empirical in nature. Theunevendevelopment
of SMEs and untimely distribution of loans and advances to
SMEs spurs balanced regional growth across different States
and Regions. The Financial PerformanceofSFCsinIndiadoes
not cutimpressivepictureandtheirOperationalPerformance
is in red.
Hence, an attempt has been made toevaluatetheOperational
Performance of SFCs in India in general and Andhra Pradesh
prior and post-bifurcation in specific with a focus on SMEs.
2.2. Review of Literature
K.Sudarsan, V.Muralikrishan, Kota Sreenivas Murthy and
D.Himachalam (2011) in their article pointed out that the
financial assistance of APSFC to promote the micro, small
and medium enterprises (MSME) in Chittor district and its
impact on performance of the SMEs and also made an
attempt to study the problem faced by SMEs/entrepreneurs
in general and financial problems in particular and offered
the viable suggestions to improve the conditionsoftheSMEs
and their entrepreneurs in Chittor District.
Alok Raj Bhatt (2012) in his article made a financial analysis
to establish the relationship between the different
components of the financial statements and examined the
profitability position of the company.
C. Viswanatha Reddy (2013) examined that number of
applications sanctioned with applied amount, flow of
assistance in terms of sanctions and disbursements, flow of
assistance to the small scalesector,Recovery performanceof
the Corporation, Income and expenditure,Operatingand net
profit, Growth in net worth, Capital adequacy ratio, Asset
quality and reduction of NPAs, Cost of borrowings and
return on average assets. At the end of the analysis, some
viable and useful suggestions are offered to tone up the
overall performance of the Corporation for Industrial
development in Andhra Pradesh.
Reddy S.Marulu and Harika k (2014) made an attempt to
examine the financial performance of APSFC in terms of
sanctions, disbursements, purpose-wise classification of
sanctions, Industry-wise classification of sanctions and
disbursements and backward and other districts sanctions
and disbursements.
N. Ravi Babu, M. Shankar and G. Sunanda (2015) observed
variations in financial assistance provided to the three
regions in the earlier A.P. A high degree of debt component
in capital structure increases the risk and may lead to
financial distress in adverse times. A high cost of funds
employed makes it very difficult to improve the profitability
of the Corporation. However, it has helped SMEs in all the
regions and the issue of development of the backward
regions has been addressed.
L M Bhole and JitendraMahakud (2017) evaluatedtheissues
and intricacies of SFCs functioning in India. They opine SFCs
promote SMEs of the States and also ensure Balanced
Regional Development, higher investment, more
employment generation and broad ownership of industries.
SFCs operate as Regional Developmental Banksandassisting
SMEs for their modernization, technology up gradation and
increase the scope and coverage their assistance. The
resources of SFCs come from: a) Share Capital, Reserves,
Bond Issues, Loans from RBI and State Governments; b) Re-
Finance from RBI; c) Fixed Deposits from State
Governments; d) Local Authorities and General Public; e)
Assistance from IDA.
Review of Literature reveals that various studies have been
made on APSFC over a period of time focusing on loans
sanctioned and disbursed; number of applications; flow of
assistance to the small scale sector; recovery; employment
etc. However, they have not addressed the issue of year wise
sanctions and disbursements of APSFC and forecast the
Growth Rate of Sanctions and Disbursements and Principal
Recovery of APSFC.
2.3. Objective of the Study:
The objectives include:
A. To examine the Operational Performance of APSFC
during 2007-08 to 2017-18;
B. To elucidate the disbursements, sanctions and out-
standings of APSFC to SMEs in Andhra Pradesh during
the study period;
2.4. Research Methodology:
The study is explorative in nature. It is based on both the
primary and secondary data. The sources of secondary
include the office records, annual reports, performance and
review reports of the SFCs in India and APSFC in specific. In
addition, the published and unpublished data from the
sources like Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG),
Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation
(MOSPI), State Finance Commission - Government of India
form the basis of secondarydata.Thepublishedarticlesfrom
the standard journals and the literaturefromreputedbooks,
unpublished dissertations constitute the secondary data.

4. Operational Performance of Andhra Pradesh State
Financial Corporation
Financial performance analysis is the process ofdetermining
the operating and financial characteristics of a firm from
accountingandfinancialstatements.Thegoalofsuchanalysis
is to determine the efficiency and performance of firmâs
management, as reflected in the financial records and
reports.8 performance is the indicator how efficiently the
organization is managed and how effectively and efficiently
the human and other resources are utilized in thefirm.There
are two types of firm performance financial and non-
financial. Financial performance measurement is based on
many decisions suchasexecutivecompensation,stockprices,
stock risk, decisions related to investment, and many other
cases. The management should be particularly interested in
knowing the financial weakness of the firm to take suitable
corrective actions. The futureplans of the firm should be laid
down in view of its financial strengthsandweaknesses.Thus,
financial analysis is the startingpointformakingplansbefore
usingany sophisticatedforecastingandplanningprocedures.

The amount of sanctions to small scale sector has increased from ` 372.03 Crores in 2007-08 to ` 416.80 in 2017-18. The mean
sanctions to the sector over the study period are ` 716.69 Crores. The mean percentage of sanctions to small-scale sector in
relation to gross sanctions during the study period is 63.4 per cent. The correlation coefficient between sanctions and
disbursements over the study period is 0.815. The calculated value of âât- is 3.77, and the critical value of ââtâ at 5 % level of
significance is 2.085, as the calculated value is greater than the critical value, it can be said that there is no close association
between gross sanctions by the Corporation and its assistance to small-scale sector.
4.3. Flow of Credit to Back-ward Areas
To promote balanced regional development APSFC has focused separately on back- ward areas andcreatedspecialproductsby
establishing prerequisite goals. Balanced regional development is an important condition for the harmonious and smooth
development of a country. It does not imply equal development of all regions of a country. Rather it indicates utilisation of
development potential of all areas as per its capacity so that the benefitof overall economic growth isshared by the inhabitants
of all the different regions of a country. Table No III gives the data relating to the sanctions to back-ward areas among gross
sanctions.
The amount of sanctions to small scale sector has increased from ` 690.65 Crores in 2007-08 to ` 1049.45 Crores in 2017-18.
The mean sanction to the backward areas is 1019.89 during the study period. The mean percentage of sanctions to backward
areas in relation to gross sanctions during the study period is 90.23 per cent. The correlation coefficient between gross
sanctions and sanctions to backward areas over the study period is 0.92. Calculatedvalueofââtâis1.096andthecritical valueis
2.085. As the calculated value is lesser than the critical value it can be said that there is a close association between gross
sanctions and sanctions to backward areas.

4.4. Recovery Performance
Recovery of funds distributed amongindustrial units as per schedule isone of the key operational performancesof theAPSFC,
as it directly affects resource mobilization required for the further lending activities. Further, regular periodical and prompt
recovery of funds from the borrowers makesthe SFCs to maintainliquidityresultingintheimprovementofthe profitability.On
the other hand, poor recovery results in the mounting up of overdue. Therefore, the emphasis should be necessary on better
recovery performance in the APSFC to achieve better operational results and the consequent generation of high profitability.

5. Conclusion:
Finance is the basic input which forms the basis for all other
key inputs of the business. In order to meet the capital
requirements of industrial concerns, certain specialized
financial institutions called developmental financial
institutions (DFIs) have been established in the country in
the post-independence era. Some of these institutions are
meant for financing large-scale industries and some for
financing the small-scale sector.
From the study of the operations of the APSFC, it is noticed
that it occupies a premier place among all the SFCs in its
lending operations. The sanctions and disbursements made
by it have more volatile during the study period. It is due to
constraints in resource mobilization and poor recovery
performance. The percentage of sanctions and
disbursements of SFCshowsupsanddownsduringthestudy
period. Recovery performance of the APSFC is good and
continuously increasing during the study period. It reveals
that the recovery policies, strategies and plans are good and
implementing correctly by the corporation.
